This Man "Jesus"

    2000 years ago there was a man born contrary to the laws of nature.

    This man was reared in obscurity. Earthly riches were not important to Him.

    He did not travel extensively, only once did He cross the boundary of the country in which He lived and that was during His exile in childhood to Egypt.

    In infancy, He startled a king;
    In childhood, He amazed Jewish leaders;
    In manhood, He ruled the course of nature, walking upon the billows as if pavement. He hushed the sea to sleep.

    He healed multitudes without medicine and made no charge for His service.

    He never wrote a book, and yet all the libraries of the country could not hold the books that have been written about Him, He never wrote a song, and yet He has furnished the theme for more songs than all the songwriters combined.

    He never founded a college, but all the schools put together cannot boast of having as many students.

    He never practiced psychiatry and yet He has healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far and near. Names of great scientists, philosophers and theologians have come and gone; but the Name of this Man abounds more and more.

    Herod the Great could not destroy Him and the grave could not hold Him.

    His Name stands highest of Heavenly glory, acknowledged by angels and feared by devils.

    “For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.”

    As the living personal Christ, the Messiah and Savior, the Redeemer of Man: Here is God’s appointed sacrifice for sins.

    Long ago, God’s divine principle was established that “without the shedding of blood, there is no remission.”

    Today God, in wondrous love, tells us, “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son, cleanseth us from all sin.”

    Jesus is the only One that has fulfilled all of the Scriptures regarding Messiah’s birth, ministry, death and resurrection. There are over 300 prophetic Scriptures in the Old Testament concerning messiah’s incarnation. Jesus fulfilled them all.

    Great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh in order that He might die for you.

    He came to earth but was rejected by the people as their king at that time. He is going to come to this earth again, and then He will be accepted as, not only King of the Jews but as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

    wonderful post RickA,lol

    Ever heard of a chap called Paul? I believe you'll find the answer to your assursion:

    "Jesus is the only One that has fulfilled all of the Scriptures regarding Messiah’s birth, ministry, death and resurrection. There are over 300 prophetic Scriptures in the Old Testament concerning messiah’s incarnation. Jesus fulfilled them all."

    by boning up on where and how the New Testament Christ rose from the ashes of Nazarine Jewery.

    cheers, unclebruce

    Hope you don't get disappointed, Rick. If your faith does you good...good for you! For many the Jesus life was created. His stuff isn't written about until the 2nd century.

    ISP,

    How can you make this statement with such conviction?:

    Listen to ISP he's such a Know-it-all.
    It's just his opinion, and, opinion are just like assholes everyone has one and they stink!

    If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?

    It was fine up until this point:

    God was manifest in the flesh in order that He might die for you.

    Logical,

    Does it really matter if a person is 100% correct about if Jesus is God or not?

    Will a person loose salvation if they are mistaken either way?

    Isn't the real important thing "Beleiving Jesus Died for our sins"?
    Not whether Jesus is God or not.

    If someone lived a trillion X longer than you, and had a billion X more reasoning ability would he come to the same conclusions as you?
